Epol Safe N Lite 20kg

Epol Safe N Lite 20kg – Low-NSC Horse Feed for Sugar & Starch Sensitive Horses

Epol Safe N Lite is a specialised, grain-free, high-fibre horse feed with very low levels of starch and sugar. It is formulated for horses and ponies that require a carefully managed diet, including those prone to laminitis, insulin resistance, Cushing's disease, or sensitivities to higher-sugar and higher-starch feeds.

Although Safe N Lite is low in NSC (non-structural carbohydrates), it provides dietary energy through added super fibres and fats, making it suitable for horses that are still working while requiring a controlled carbohydrate ration.

The high fibre content supports normal digestive function, while added digestive cultures provide additional digestive support. The formulation is fully fortified with vitamins and minerals, including biotin, manganese, zinc and magnesium, which contribute to normal hoof health and hoof horn growth.

Feeding Information

Feed according to the manufacturer's recommended feeding rate, taking into account the horse's body weight, workload, condition and total forage intake.

Introduce any new feed gradually and ensure the horse has access to appropriate forage and fresh, clean drinking water.

For horses with laminitis, insulin resistance, PPID/Cushing's disease or other metabolic conditions, the complete diet should be managed with guidance from your veterinarian or a suitably qualified equine nutrition professional.

Important: Safe N Lite is a dietary feed and should not be considered a treatment or cure for acute laminitis, active insulin resistance, Cushing's disease or gastric ulcers. Horses with severe or acute conditions should be managed according to veterinary advice.
